Git Blog - Publish sites using Markdown & GitHub from your phone

Your post shouldn't wait until you're back at a desk. Git Blog lets you write and publish Markdown posts and photos to your GitHub repo supporting your static site from your iPhone. Works with Jekyll, Hugo, Eleventy, Astro, Next.js, Gatsby, Hexo, and most static site setups. Set up YAML front matter templates, add images, then push to a branch or open a PR. Images are resized and optimised, drafts stay on-device until you're ready. Blog from anywhere.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Matt I lead the design and research teams at 1Password, I built this app in my spare time to make publishing post photos and stories to my blog while travelling not weeks later. It connects to your GitHub-backed static site, lets you write Markdown, resize and attach photos straight from your camera roll, set up front matter templates, and push live or open a PR all from your phone. Works with Jekyll, Hugo, Eleventy, Astro, Next.js, and anything else running on Markdown and GitHub. Let me know what static site setup you're running would love to hear how it fits your workflow.

Hmmm...$2.99 just to see how the ONE free draft looks on my site?
I might love it, but shy away from extortion.
Pass.
And I'm a 1Password fanboy.

Very cool! I'm wondering how is this different from publishing a Notion site?

Serge Punchev

The image resize and optimise step is the part that would actually save me the most time-curious what formats and size targets you're working with, and whether that's configurable per site setup?

Matt Davey

@spunchev This is a great idea, I'll add something like this soon. Currently it just optimises and resizes to the longest side to 1500px.

Interesting ... but only for apple?

This looks really cool, love the Git-as-CMS approach.

I’m building a docs framework called MDX Docs (mdxdocs.com) that uses MDX files in a repo and maps them directly to routes (React + Vite).


Curious if Git Blog supports MDX, or if it assumes plain Markdown today? If not, do you think MDX support would be feasible? I’d love to try wiring it up on my side.

ok 'your post shouldn't wait until you're back at a desk' actually got me. the push live or open a PR straight from your phone is genuinely well thought out. well done matt.

Are the images compressed to avoid overloading the page weight?

Joseph Visionary

Simple and elegant concept. Design looks great as well.

How do you set up where the site is hosted?

Mateusz Jacniacki

Does it support custom front matter templates for different post types like reviews versus tutorials? Publishing from your phone to a static site is brilliant, congrats!
